In the nine games played during the week at the Philadelphia Clies3 Club by Mr. Stciuitz he has won two, lost two and drawn five. Thesixth game of the return match between the champion and Mr. Martinez was played yesterday, opening in the Kuy Lopez form of play. 1 to 4, toK 4.

2. Kt to 3, Kt to 3. 3. IS to Kt 5. The Philadelphia player was evidently suffering from the severe strain he put upon himself in his previous games, and the result of his bad form was that he weakened a pawn early iu the game, which finally resulted in its loss, and after 33 moves the position was: White Martinez at 4, at 13 sq, at Kt 3, Pawn at Kt 2 and 2.

Black SlcinitzK atQB4, KatQ Fawns at 5, Kt 3 and It 2. Jlr. Martinez now tried the singular expedient of sacrificing at 6 ch to force a draw, ending of King against King Bishop and P. His subsequent play, however, failed to carry out the idea. Instead of to however, Mr.

Stciuitz himself pointed to 4 as a telling move for Mr. Martinez. Failing in this Mr. Martinez lost. In the gamo previous to this (the fifth) Mr.

Martinez actually overlooked winning chances. These gentlemen will play the final game of their second series to morrow afternoon. On Tuesday he will play Mr. Elson. OSE OF THK FIN'KST GAMES OF MODEKS TIMES.

The fourth game in the return series between Stciuitz and Martinez was one of the fiuest games of modern times. In the opening Mr. Martinez sacrificed, daringly, a pawn for position, and with inferior numbers literally outwitted and outplayed his renowned adversary, and after SI move's of play Mr. Stciuitz escaped with a draw. The moves of this battle wore: White Martinez.

E. BEADKOHl) CLARKE, Broad and Chestnut Philadelphia, Pa. CHRIS How the Unclaimed Jead Are Distributed. Cbarges by a Medical Journal. In yesterday's issue of the Medical Feu there appeared an article saying that the necessity of body snatching only existed because the Coroner persistently disregarded aud disobeyed the law directing tho distribution of Unclaimed bodies among the medical colleges in proportion to the number of their students.

In conclusion the writer says: "The number of subjects received from the Almshouse is utterly inadequate to meet the needs of the large nnmlier of medical students in the city, and the Jefferson Medical College, we have the best authority for stating, has in several years received less than a dozen subjects from the Coroner, while his own private rooms for anatomical instruction have had an ample supplj'. It is only a question of time when the Coroner must be compelled to obey the law of tho Commonwealth, of which be is a sworn officer, or better still, when he aud his office shall be things of the past." Deputy Coroner Powers says that the reason why so few bodies were delivered to somo of the colleges was because the demonstrators refused to accept those which had been mutilated iu a post mortem examination and that upon neatly all of tho unclaimed bodies au autopsy was necessary. The records of the office show that during tho year 1HH1 thirty eight bodies were sent to the University of Pennsylvania, eleven to the Jefferson Medical College, two to the Women's Medical College, one to Demonstrator Mears, of the Dental College, and forly one lo the Pennsylvania School of Anatomy, in which Coroner Janney is tho head demonstrator. Mr. Powers said that the bodies sect to the latter institution were those which the other medical colleges refused to accept and were all very poor subjects.

During the present year about sixty bodies have been distributed, the majority going to tho University of Pennsylvania. NEW YORK'S I'EXAL CODE.

Eoseuljaiim annual opening ol holiday goods took place last Tuesday and Wednesday at 20H Psorlh Eighth street. One window was almost entirely devoted to plants in blossom, and the other contained a large assortment of albums, which are one of the specialties of this firm. There were books of nearly all sizes, devices and priees.and albums aro very popular christians presents this window proved extremely attractive to the pass ers by. The store itself wasliung with Christmas green and decorated with flowers and tree ferns. The latter were used with a wise profusion, and perhnpsthey aro unsurpassed for giving a bower and tropical effect.

Canaries in gilt cages helped the illusion wil their sweet rippling music, but the everereeu arch spanning the stairway to the art gallery suggested a northern Christmas inevitably. Counters and walls were covered with all manner of holiday presents, and a larce stocit 01 CIinMmas cards was displayed on temporary erections. All the goods were clearly ticketed, saving a world of trouble and tedious inquiries. I'lush, it is clear, still holds its own as a popular covering for nearly everything on which it can possibly be employed.

What a Girl Accomplished While PlaciDg Pie on the Betired List. From the Chicago Tribune.

But, papa" Not another word," said the person thus addressed, tall, handsome man, in whoso deep brown hair a tinge of gray Tfas just beginning to show. "You know, my child," he continued, that nothing could give me Biore pain than refusing any wish of yours, and that I am never so happy and free from care as when some act ot mine has made your life brighter.

In a few moments her father canieinto the apartment. Perhaps 1 was rather harsh with you, Lillian," he began. But the girl interrupted him. "Don't spook of it again, dear papa," she said, "because I know that you reaily have no money to spare. While I was mending your overcoat last evening I saw that note from and I would not "You saw the note?" asks Mr.

Perkins; in hoarse, agonized tones. Yes, papa but you know I never "How much will a sealskin sacque cost?" "Three hundred dollars," and as the girl spoke these words a baleful light shot from her eyes. You can havo tho money to morrow," ho said, and went slowly out of the room. "I thought my darling papa would weaken," said the girl, and, lifting the fork slowly to uer lips, the last of the pie was gone. CLASSICAL MUSIC.

Mr. Jan is' Second Soiree Mr. Sherwood's Piano Recitals. An audience that included many musicians and musical amateurs gathered in the handsome hall of the Union League last night at Mr. Jarvis' second classical soiree.

Tho concert was a remarkably beautiful one. Mr. Jarvis played a very agreeably sonata by Cramer, iu major, and Haller's "Dans le suite of seven short movements that are pretty enough without tho programme. Mr. Jarvis and Mr.

Gaertner played the Mozart violin sonata in A major and with Mr. Schmitz the Beethoven trio in a great composition admirably performed. Mr. jarvis' next soiree will be ou January 13. Mr.

W. II. Sherwood, of Boston, gave the last of his series of piano concerts at the Academy of the Fine Arts yesterday afternoon. In theso recitals ho played an astonishing number and variety of dillicult compositions, and iu all approved himself an excellent artist. A player who can pass from the passion and feeling demanded by Schumann's great Fantasio in to the brilliancy aud fluency of execution in tho Grand Polonaise in of Liszt and then realize iu a Chopin nocturne the ideal of musical grace and poetry, has touched three great points of artistic achievement aud deserves a cordial recognition.

Cain and Abel Over Again. From the North Georgian. On Saturday last one of the most sad and heart rending homicides occurred in Whitfield county known in its history. Mr. Henry and Charles Chambers, brothers, got into a difficulty at the house of their father, near Silver Shoals, when Henry violently stabbed Charles in the left breast, and so terrible was the blow that it severed four of his ribs.

The dinicuHy occurred about sundown and Charles lingered until about five o'clock next morning, when death ended his suilerings. The sad gloom this affair easts over our whole community can only be imagined when wo state that these young men were own bom brothers, that they stood high as citizens and were prompt and honest in all their dealings. Their parents are above reproach. Henry remained until the death of his brother, when, we learn, he made his escape. A Florida Fisherman's Fight With a Shark.

From the Braldentown Progress. Captain Billy O'Neil recently had a lively tussle with a shark, a regular man eater, alongsMe the wharf at Turner's warehouse, in Braidentown. Whilo cleaning fish on tho gunwale of his boat a shark, fully six feet in length, gobbled up a large grouper made fast to the stern of the boat with a lino and commenced to make off with his prey. Billy wanted the grouper, so did tho shark, and for a few minutes it was nip and tuck between the two. Billy plied his knife vigorously into the head and eyes of the sharlt, but the gamy monster held on to the grouper like grim death to a dead African and refused to release his grip until both eyes were destroyed and his head otherwise badly lacerated.

Tho children kept coming, one by one, Till the boys were live and the girls were three, And the big brown house was alive with fun From the basement tloor to the old roof tree. Like garden flowers the little ones grew, Nurtured and trained with ihe tendercst care; Warmed by love's sunshine, bathed in its dew. They blossomed into beauty, like roses rare.

But one of the boys grew weary one dav, And leaning his head on his mother's breast. He said, I am tired and cannot play; Let me sit awhile on your knee and rest." She cradled him close in her fond embrace, Sho hushed him to Bleep with her sweetest song, And rapturous love still lighted his face When his spirit had joined the heavenly throng. Then the eldest girl, with her thoughtful eyes, Who stood where the brook aud the river meet," Stole softly sway Into Paradise Ero "the river'' had reached her slender feet. While the father's eyes on the grave are bent, The mother looked upward beyond the skies: "Our treasures," she whispered, ''were only lent, Our darlings were angels iu earth's disguise." The years flew by and the children began With longing to think of the world outside And as each, iu his turn, became a man, The boys proudly went from the father's side. The girls were women so gentlo and fair That lovers were speedy to woo and win; And witli orange blossoms in braided hair.

The old homo was left, new homo lo begin, So, one by one, tho children have gone The boys were five and the girls were three; And the big brown house Is gloomy and lone, With but two old folks for Its company. They talk to each other about the past, As they sit together in eventide, And sav, "All the children we keep at last Are the boy and Ihe girl who iu childhood died," The Popularity of With DescripSons of the Way in hieh Tbey are Made Up. DAY AND EVENING TOILETTES Exquisite Dresses for Festivals and Home Wear Bonnets and Shoe3. The very atmosphere is suggestive of furs and fur lined garments, and just now the feminine heart yearns for one of the elegant and comfortable wraps, which will be considered worth its weight in gold during the intense cold days of midwinter. But are there no objective points to possessing one of these niaguificeut and too warm garments, outside of their eost Perhaps not to ladies who can afford two or more wraps appropriate for the seasonablo weather variations, but a lady with only one winter wrap, and, that a sealskin dolman or sacque, is not to be envied.

Ac authority says that English ladies prefer the shorter dolmans, while fair Americans cannot have them too long. That is certainly true, and most of the rich fur garments and thoso of other materials trimmed with fur this winter reach almost, if uot quite, to the lower edge of the dress skirt. The most expensive fur is the crown sables, which are not often allowed to leave Russia, aud another costly fur is the black fox, which is very rare. Fur capes are fashionable this winter, and sometimes they are large enough to reach below the waist, beal paletots are more fashionable tha long jackets, but really brocades, sicilicnnes, Ottoman, plush and other fabrics, trimmed with fur, are more popular than the entire garments ot tur. Fl'RS FOR GIFTS.

Iu Europe the fashion of giving real lace by tho bridegroom elect to his bride has gone out, and in place furs are presented, and no corbeillo is considered complete without a sealskin pelisse, trimmed either with beaver orKamschatkaseal The pelisse fits the figure closely, aud sometimes it seems divided in two parts a jacket and a tunic. It is also considered high toned to pre sent a set of sable tails, muff aud trimmings, at usually great expense. A magnificent wrap is of sealskin, with the back of the skirt arranged in large pleats, while the sieeves are iu kangaroo shape. jo trimming is used on the garment, except the rich bran denbtirgs with which the front is fastened. The cloak is lined with satin quilted in diamonds.

Seal brown plush mantles come in the same shape, only in them there are not box pleats in tho back portion; the side seams are open and filled in with plush fan pleatings, across which aro looped rich festoons of cord tinned with handsome tassels, tho topmost one commencing at the sleeves under a rich chenille ornament. The front is secured with cords aud tassels.

Many fashionable people who started with their lists nearly a month ago have ry present they intend making bought and 1 away, ready to send at the appointed time, craze for cards has been as great as ever, there were so few new ones and the good were so costly that very many persons gave up altogether and concluded to take up all china and pretty wooden trinkets instead, jreat many expensive presents will be made.

Three of tbeso havo occurred already, in tho rder named, Dr. Wilson's reception taking dace last night in his elegant white marble louse. As usual, the bill of fare is limited, so is to prevent any sumptuous set outs. A sad sequel to the death of Mrs. Maxwell, who was formerly Miss Tillio Jessup, of this jity, conies in the announcement of the death of the child that survived her.

If this son and aoir had lived ho would have inherited all tho mother's fortune, but by the death, notwithstanding all the provisions of tho lato Mr. Jes sup's will, the fortune goes to Mr. Maxwell, the surviving husband, who is now a rich man and will become part owner in the Philadelphia properties. Although Mr. Jessup was fond of the society of foreigners of distinction and wont to live in England partially to gratify that taste, ho was nevertheless opposed to giving either of his daughters to men with prospective titles but no present cash.

Accordingly, before going to England he drew up and left behind him a most remarkable will, in which apparently every point was guarded. Among other things, it provided that upon the death of either of his daughters none of their money should go to their husbands, if they had any. Any of their children were to be well provided for, and in case of the death of the children the money was to be divided among several of Mr. Jessup's friends. Mr.

Jessup failed to consider that under Iho English law upon the death of a son and heir following the mother from whom the fortune is received the husband inherits. If the child had died before tho mother Mr. Maxwell would havo received nothing, but as tho child survived the mother a few weeks Mr. Maxwell gets over halt a million. The wedding of Miss Poulterer to Mr.

Harrison's nieces and a grandson, both of whom have lately married. Tho house is one of the finest in the city to entertain in, and the receptiou will undoubtedly bo one of the brilliant features of the winter. The house is built exactly on the plan of the palace ot tne czar ot iiusssia, though on a somewhat smaller scale. A wedding in prospect is that of Mr. Edward Toland to Miss Rush, which is set down for January.

Tho engagement is announced of Mr. H. Carlton Adams to Miss Morris. There have been a number of theatre parties during tho week and several small parties in boxes. Mrs.

Francis Shaw's tea on Monday aftor noon the hostess was assisted by her sister, tho Countess (lalli, and Mrs. Dana. A great many fashionable people were present. Mrs. Nor Mapleson Say He Can't Bring the Diva Fulesa He His tlie Stockholders' Colonel Mapleson, who is to give a short season of Italian opera at the Academy in January, under the management of Mr.

Tugh, is just now deep in the old fight about the stockholders' seats. He is to give ten performances eight nights and two matinees beginning on Thursday, January 4, but he declares that ho cannot afford to bring his brightest star, Patti, here at all unless tho Academy directors will make some concessions. In New York the stockholders of the Academy of Music agreed to pay three dollars a eeat ou the nights when Patti should siug, and Mapleson wanted to make some such arrangement here. The directors, however, declined to interfere in the matter, though they told the Colonel that he might have a list of the stockholders if ho wished to communicate with them directly, "but the directors can neither recommend nor take any part in such proceeding." Upon this the manager writes to Mr. Pugh ihat the directors seem to care so Iittie about whether Patti comes or not that they will not evcu trouble themselves to say a kind word to me or even to make a recommendation to their stockholders," and he desircsMr.

PugU to "distinctly let them know that unless they can give up certain seats to me, or give me some compensation to reduce the expenditures, it will be an utter impossibility to have Patti sing." At this cheerful point the correspondence rests. There are 253 of the best seats in the Academy of Music leserved for the stockholders. At ordinary opera prices this is equal to an addition of $759 a night to the rent. On a Patti night, when the best seats would sell at $7, these figures are raised to 1,771, which would really niake about for the rent of the building. Indeed, the actual valuo of the 253 seats is not the whole cost to the manager, for there are 5'j0 stockholders with the privilege of admission, who come in crowds when a star is to sing and make a rush for the seats.

Only half of them can be accommodated, but the others sit on the steps or stand around, and the price of their adinissionand of the scats they would otherwise buy must come out of the receipts. Of course the stockholders can always reply to the complaints of managers that they furnish the finest theatre iu tiie country, with tho most compieto appointments, without which it would not bo possible to give grand opera in Philadelphia at all; that this is the only return they get for their investment, and that if the managers can make more money at any other theatre they are at liberty to go there. But in a case like the present, where a manager, besides the enor mous expenses of a large company, with orchestra and chorus, pays his leading singer $1,400 every night she sings, a matter of two thousand dollars more or less iu his receipts makes a serious difference. Statistics of Mortality. From the Sanitary Engineer.

Taking the sum of the reports for the last five weeks, we find that for an average urban population of the deaths were equivalent to an annual mortality of 20.4 per For the same period in the North Atlantic cities the rate was 18.7; for the Eastern group, 21.4; for the Lake region, 17.8; for the river cities, 10.3, nnd for the Southern cities whites, 18.S; colored, 31.6. The deaths under five years were 3S percent, of the whole, the lake and river cities and the Southern blacks being above the average. The totol number of deaths during this period from consumption was 1,727, being 14.5 per cent, of the whole. Acute lung diseases caused 10.3 per cent, of all deaths. Diphtheria 6.01 per cent, and tvphoid fever 3.7 per cent.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE WEEK'S PLAY. Viewed iu the light of what had gone before, the chess events of the week have caused considerable surprise, in the thousand circles devoted to the gamo throughout the country. At the end of last week the Philadelphia Chess Club was at zero point, but now it has regained its position as one of tho strongest chess clubs in the world. What are the causes that have been at work to effect this remarkablo revolution? Well, they are many and cannot be summed up in a word. When Stciuitz came to theso shores, justly regarded as the strongest chess player in the world sinco tho days of Morphy, be brought with him his new methods of play which were at once a revolation and a surprise to our players, who had never experienced the like before.

The crowding" and tho "daubing" games were delusions and snares to tho unwary attacker, and we wandered in a strange chess land whereof wo know, but imperfectly, the naturo of the ground and the pitfalls it contained. The play of the first two or three weeks was a severe lesson, but it has borne good fruit. Mr.Stcinitz'sown gambit has been analyzed as it never was analyzed bo fore, and tho "posting" of pieces and pawns has been made the subject of a severe and critical examination. Tho accumulative force of Mr. Steiuitz's play was also carefully looked into.

It is a general principlo of chess that tho more you can "compound" an attack tho stronger it will get. Sending out your skirmishers too soon entails two disadvantages: You havo too few men iu the field to do anything and you havo given your gamo away to one line of assault. When you, however, develop within your lines you create a vast amount of accumulated force, ready to be used in a hundred different ways according as the adversary is able to do skillful or unskillful work within his own linos. Tho play of tho queen's knight is an important factor in Mr. Steiuitz's chess ail on its silent power is partly built the superstructure of his wonderful gambit, which opens with tho moves 1.

to 4, to 4. 2. Queen's Kt to 3. In former days the queen's knight was regarded as a mere side show and "after piece" in tho opening, but now, in this latter day chess, it plays the role of a leading officer. Tho adaptation of tho Fianchotto movement to many openings is also a marked feature of the champion's play.

The "Fianchctto" cousists of playing either pawn to Kt and posting tho bishop behind it at Kt 2, where it holds a strong position for both attack and defense. These are, however, only come of tho characteristics of his play, for a complete study of which the reader is referred to tho reports of his games, which havo been published in The Times during the past three weeks. A Matter of Interest. Wbilo Philadelphia may he deemed the birthplace of Iho instalment plan of business In the Union, it is quito certain that many who claim to be the oldest In tho trade must have commenced business before they mailo the acquaintance of this world, for nearly fifty years ago firms now In existence, and at the present time doing a very large business, were beginning to build up a reputation for selling upon this plan. There can be 110 doubt that Charles Dcvcuny and P.

Collins (now P. Collins Sons), at the northeast corner and Thompson streets, are the fathers of this plan of business in this Stale, Mr. 1'cvcnny being iu the business a very short time before Jlr. P. Collins entered upon the same course During a business life of upwards of forty years these two houses have built up an envlahlebusiness reputation.
